Default Quaranteeing New Fish

Me again!

I have recently purchased a few koi for my new pond. They have all been purchased over the last few weeks and they've all gone straight into the pond.

Already I've become quite attached to them and when I stock up the pond in the future I want to be sure that I don't introduce anything nasty.

The koi book I have says that quaranteeing fish can cause them more stress and can even make them ill!? I'm assuming this isn't a common view...?

What does quaranteeing involve exactly? I'm guessing a big tank or tub with an air stone and just keeping an eye on them for a couple of weeks - is that about it?

Cheers

Paul
